Boiler school training courses in Detroit, MI (public, in-house or online)

An applied technology course designed to prepare students to take necessary boiler-steam licensing exams
and prepare them to function effectively as multi-skilled power or process plant engineers, boiler operators
or heating plant operators. Students study the operation and maintenance of boilers and auxiliaries, and are
required to operate, service and maintain boiler and auxiliary equipment in a state-of-the-art cogeneration,
heating-power plant laboratory.

This is an entry-level program designed for students seeking to enter the boiler operation, power plant
operation or facilities operation and maintenance fields. In this program students operate boilers, engines,
turbines and heating and cooling equipment in the "hands-on" labs in the Energy Technology Department.
Upon completing this 17 credit hour program, students receive a diploma which may be presented to local
